I'm a mom of 4 beautiful kiddos..3 teenagers on the severe end of the spectrum, 2 non-verbal and one with slowly emerging language (2 boys & 1 girl) and our oldest (typical)daughter is in college. I would love to win this book for her. She is studying Psychology and Autism, obviously, is her passion due to her life with her 3 vaccine injured sibs. She has been battling professors right and left re: Do Vaccines cause Autism? All of them INSISTING they do NOT and she INSISTING they do. She cites "Vaccine Epidemic" (excellent book)and has even donated copies to the library @ CSUSM to help others learn the real truth. She is doing a speech on this topic after Spring Break and is dyinggg to get her hands on this book to read and use as a reference. We spend so much $$ on her books for college but this one is the only one WORTH IT! ;)

I could have never made it through my dark days without the unconditional love, support and dope slapping of the sisterhood of thinking mom's out there. Thank you for bringing forth our stories to the world!

This is a book my daughter in law needs to read. She has fully vaccinated her 4 year old son, who has insomnia and always seems unhappy. He ex is "forcing her" to get the shot even though he disowned the child. 18 months ago she married my 3rd son now they just had a baby girl. They refused the Hep B and are delaying the rest of the schedule, I want them to know the truth about all vaccines. Thanks for considering. Thanks for keeping us updated.

This needs to be the new "what to expect" book for parents of all ages of children! With the new watered down statistics of 1 in 50 children now diagnosed on the spectrum, this is what they can expect if they do not heed these knowledgeable warnings!
The Great Multitude in White Robes
After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language Revelation 7:9

Would love to have a free copy of this book! But regardless, this thinking mother will get her own copy one way or another. Huzzah for all the courageous parents seeking daily to rescue their own children, and giving light to others struggling along this path!

Would love to win this book. Glad I even found you ladies. I live in Chg and CPS just had my 9 yr old high functioning Aspergers son hauled away in a wagon by the police t a mental hospital.they believe he needs to be committed to see what's really wrong with him. We are involved with Easter seals , Have Dreams. And Dr. Paterno.clinical Psychologist . My son was diagnosed by a Dr. at Little Friends and a Neuropsychologist at Alexian Brothers. But CPS knows better.

I'm a thinking mom too! We've never met and I bet we are thinking the same stuff! Persistance and Belief helped me to uncover what my children needed! Can't wait to read my book....umm your book....OUR book!

Finally a book that will have the truth in it for all of us trying to rescue and recover our children.Think maybe someone should send copies to the head of CDC,FDA and the President.Thank you TMR for helping my journey to get my daughter back and for giving me the strength to keep fighting.

I am so anxious to read this book! It would be wonderful to win a copy as I hold periodic support meetings in my area and already loan out books that I have either purchased myself or been given, to parents of newly diagnosed kiddos or those looki g for answers.
Please enter me in the giveaway! I would love to add this title to my library list!
Thank you!

I'd love to win this to give to my next mentee, or close friend with a new diagnosis. It's unfortunate that there will be more children, but it's inevitable. I'm ready to change some thinking around here!

I am entering to win the book. I have a grandson diagnosed with HFA - I have run the gamut of emotion and thoughts; from thinking they made a mistake with the diagnosis and there is nothing wrong; to wondering if he will ever live any kind of normal life! Thanks for the contest!

Wow...reading these comments and we are so humbled. Thank you A of A for supporting our efforts. Lucky for me, yours was one of the first sites I found when Harry was diagnosed and I read it word for word every day. Thank you for what you do every day!

Lisa Kelly, while we can not be swayed by pithy comments, "Pretty please with stevia on top" made me laugh out loud. I use a masterful system of adding the date and the month and dividing by how many times I have yelled at my kids the last hour and then count comments. It's not quite Price Waterhouse but it IS random. Good luck and thanks for the smile. KIM

This is what we have been waiting for and this is what we need, not just one story of hope, improvement, and success, but 24 all together. No one can say anymore that it was just luck or a fluke. Together these stories can not be dismissed. I'd be happy and honored to receive this book so I can learn what other stones I need to overturn for my son in his journey to health. The TMR Blog is what every parent thinks to themselves, but doesn't always dare to say to the outside world. Thanks to you all.

So far, I've been pretty impressed by the info I've read since finding TMR! We've been in the "Land of Autism" since '96. Our son is not cured, but he's seriously recovered ~ it's been a 14 year trek since '98 from "institutionalize that kid" (there's no hope) to choosing an institution in '12: FSCJ is the college institution where he's currently a Freshman! It would be interesting for us to read about the journeys other families have been on! Fingers crossed and "best wishes" to whomever gets selected! :)

I just found this blog several months ago and it rocks. So true about TMR. We need to ACT. We are beyond awareness and talking. BTW - my 29 year old son is not autistic but one day he will become a father. Autism effects ALL of us.

I was so struck by the blog, "I gave my son, autism," that I read last week. As an adult, I have struggled with seeking to overcome health issues all my adult life due to the same things that cause autism. Your blog has given me a much greater understanding of what autism is and I am so thankful for the doctors like Dr. Kirk Woeller, Great Plains Labs, Dr. Rodney Soto, www.holisticalabama.com, Dr. Katherine Henry, Texas institute of Integrative Medicine and others who are finding the answers and treating the heavy metal loads, healing the gut, identifying nutritional deficiencies and helping restore health. So thankful for you website and would love to win the book!

I'm the grandmother of a 20 year-old grandson with Aspergers. I would like to win a copy for my daughter-in-law for the valient fight she's had over the years. If most have pre-ordered a copy, like I have, it should be a runaway bestseller upon release.

I love TMR trying like heck to recover my 5 year old with ASD and protect my 2 year old. Would absolutely love a copy! Keep up the great work, TMR and AOA, for keeping us all informed.

Would love to get a book ! My plan is to give it to a neighbor whose child has autism ! Actually If I could afford to I would give as many away to families that have disabled children or are planning on having kids ..
